Questions
How accurate is it?
On clear photos of raw or sanded wood, Grainwise usually gives a strong match. Finishes, paint, blur and look-alike species (for example hard and soft maple) make it harder; then the app shows its confidence honestly and suggests a better photo. Identifications are AI estimates: confirm with a professional before buying, selling or structural use.
Which woods does it know?
47 common woods from North America, Europe and the tropics. If your wood is most likely outside that list, Grainwise tells you it may be a wood it doesn’t cover yet instead of guessing.
What happens to my photos?
Your scans stay on your phone. To identify a wood, the photo is sent, with your permission, to our AI provider (Anthropic) and is not used to train AI. Details are in the privacy policy.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Subscriptions are handled by Apple or Google with your store account.
How do I cancel?
In the app: Settings → Manage subscription. Or in your App Store or Google Play account settings. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
Does it work offline?
Your history and collection work offline. Identifying a new photo needs an internet connection.
